Here's a little problem. For most of my fishing career I'd fished without a net. Why? Heck, I didn't think that I needed one. My attitude towards landing fish was…."I'll just grab 'em". Well, even little fish have quite a bit of spunk in them. Just when I'd be ready to "grab 'em", they would dart away. Four, five, six times. That's a lot of spunk. Frustrating for the fisherman, probably for the fish too. Not to mention the needless tiring, especially when the process could be expedited.

I started spring creek fishing a couple of years ago. In a compassionate, conservation minded moment, I decided that it was time for a change. Actually, I got tired of not being able to land fish that were already at hand. So, I invested in a net. Good move. Get them close, one scoop, done. No more of this darting away business.
